Summary:
Tony Sarg used three-dimensional puppets in silhouette. Despite
the title, the story is not set in prehistoric times as might
be expected. Instead the family seems rather hillbilly, but a
friendly dinosaur makes a few appearances among a hodgepodge of
incidents surrounding the need to entertain a baby: first, the
dinosaur brings the baby home and receives a reward--unidentifiable
food which we see travelling down its long esophagus; and later,
during a visit to a zoo, the dinosaur allows people to use its
neck as a slide [long before The Flintstones].
